That's not bad for your first attempt at painting.

It looks like a lot of paint though - either too thick or too many coats. I would try thinning the paint down. You can also go back and cover the painted over parts (like the metallic on the top side of the backpack's vents).

You did a great job at the bases too! Keep up the work!

Looks good. Looking forward to see some of the more unique models in your army.

Thanks for the consructive criticsm, btw i like having those dots on the vents, they are on purpose, but irealise theirs lots of black where there shouldnt be.

I'm painting another batch of 5, than 5 more but special ones like aspiring champions and marks of chaos, then a chaos termi lightning claws lord and then who know's

very well done for your first paintings,keep up the good work.

Its a bit messy but really good for a first ry, personnaly, i would have painted those horns bleached bone.

But its your models and not mine. Good Job

Dont have any colour to do my bones thats why

Besides painting back over your runs I would use less wash. Washes are great but too much kills all the color. To combat that after you use a wash dry brush the primary color back up/out. That way it's slow and you have a lil more control on how bright it comes out. And that will help make them pop. Instead of just stained black. Hope this is helpful. Great job.

Good lord son thin those paints. Your ability to paint details is great but right now you've got space marine blobs lmao

Bit harsh don't you think, remember we were all at that level before.

A 2nd batch soon to come, probably wendsday, i'm going to the cottage this weekend so cant paint till late monday.

I agree, this was a good first paint job, i never have and never will post my first marines i painted(when i was 12), they were amazing...is amazing the right word...no, they were disgusting, but i still love em!

Don't forget to cut the handle of your guns off, I used to do the same thing when I started.

Yeah what he said, I made that mistake as well it would also help to not base your models completly in static grass, as now they're fighting in the Eternal Crusade of Astroturf-VII

very well done. Better than my first attempt. A lot better.

The only thing is, use a smaller brush for the eye sockets because theyre a tad messy. Other than that, well played =]
